March brings with it
the winds that herald the end of winter and
the beginning of spring.As the temperature begins to warm and
the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts
appear, heralding the return of the robins.

This morning I awoke to
finish an article I’d been working on
showing parallels between:

God’s appointed Feasts
are “shadows of things to come.”Therefore, we need to know about
them.Parallels to the Rapture, Christ’s
Second Coming and the Millennium can all be
found in these Holy Observances.

Colossians 2: 16-17 “Let no man
therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or
in respect of an holyday, or of the new
moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a
shadow of things to come; but the body is of
Christ.”

These rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And
Christ himself is that reality.

Significant victories or defeats concerning
Israel have occurred on these same days
throughout their history.ALL
share the same pattern or theme.

Many are looking to the
Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) for the
Rapture to occur.One reason is because another name it
is known by is “no man knows the day or the
hour.”Some believe the Rapture will happen
at that time also because of the trumpets
blown during that feast.But trumpets are blown at EACH FEAST.I want to point out that WE SHOULD BE
READY AT
ANY
TIME.But given the signs that are
increasing at an alarming rate, I feel that
we don’t have long to wait for our
deliverance from the wrath that is to come
upon the earth.

Passover is the first
Holy Feast the Israelites observed.It is still observed and lasts for a
week.It will occur at the end of this
month, as will our Easter (Resurrection
Day).

Each of God’s appointed
Holy Feast Days (Leviticus 23) commemorates
a significant event in the freedom from
bondage and slavery in Egypt that God
granted the people of Israel. God commanded
them to honor these events each year.In this way they would be teaching
their children of God’s sovereignty, who
delivered Israel from destruction.God commanded them to sound a certain
amount of trumpet blasts during each feast.

The sanctification of
the Passover Lamb was given to the Jews
during the original Exodus. God told each
family to sacrifice a spotless (without
blemish) lamb and sprinkle its blood on the
lentils of their doors.They were to do this so that, when
the angel of God passed through and saw the
blood, their family would be (passed over) -
spared from the tenth plague to befall Egypt
for disobeying God’s warnings over and over,
as given through His messenger, Moses.Each plague had progressively gotten
worse as Egypt continued to refuse to obey
God’s warning.

The eighth plague that descended on Egypt
were locusts.

On the day of Passover
thereafter, the Israelites would sacrifice
the spotless lamb and prepare it.Then after sunset the feast would
begin.They would serve the lamb at the
feast, who had sacrificed its blood to save
them.

JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER
LAMB.HE WAS OUR ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.He shed His Blood to save us from our
sins on the eve of Passover.He was resurrected on the third day.He is coming again, first in the
Rapture – His promise to keep us from the
“wrath to come.”Then after the tribulation He will
return to earth to judge the wicked and set
up His Kingdom here on earth for 1000 years.Afterwards Satan will lose his final
battle, and there will be a new Heaven and a
new earth, where we will live for eternity
with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 5:4“But you, brethren, are not in
darkness, so that this Day should overtake
you as a thief.”

If anyone reading this
has not given his or her life over to Jesus
Christ, don’t hesitate.“Now is the time for salvation.”God promised he would keep his true
church from the hour of tribulation.Jesus is coming quickly to “catch up”
his true church – those whom He refers to in
the bible as His saints.

Now when these things begin to
happen, look up and lift up your heads,
because your redemption draws near.”

1 Corinthians 15: 51-53“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet
will sound, and the dead will be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

Come and take refuge with us from the coming judgment.

Isaiah 26: 20-21a
“Come,
my people, enter your chambers, and shut
your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it
were, for a little moment, until the
indignation is past.For behold, the Lord comes out of His
place to punish the inhabitants of the earth
for their iniquity;”

Friends, I look forward
to meeting you someday soon in the Rapture.Until then, let us witness with
urgency.Please enjoy these songs that are
accompanied by slides or video about Jesus,
our Lord and Savior.I usually just share one at the end
of my articles, but I feel drawn to leave
more with you today.May they be a blessing to you.May they reach the hearts of the
lost.
